I want the American people to have affordable, quality health care. And that all went away when Obamacare was passed into law. It broke health care. Prices went up 221% since Obamacare was signed into law. And remember, President Obama said he would lower the prices by $2,500 a family. Then, you know, to try to prop it up, they sent all this juicy subsidies directly to insurance companies. (03:12–03:18)
